  • Be ready for anything this summer with a Grab n' Go kit.
  • I stocked my kit with wipes, bug-off towelettes, suncreen and hand sanitizer.

Ready for the Summer - Grab N' Go Kit

With 3 children and lots of summer activities, I found that since we were always running 20 different places every day I kept forgetting to bring sunscreen or bug spray. I got tired of the "duh, I forgot it again" moments.

Detox Your Kitchen

While there’s no such thing as a “Toxin-Friendly Zone” in your house, the kitchen might be the least deserving of the title. This potential germ haven not only sees plenty of pet and kid traffic but also houses the food they eat. Eliminating harmful substances in the kitchen can go a long way towards maintaining a healthy home. #FavoriteRoom

  • Oranges. If you’re looking for an easy way to brighten up your kitchen or dining room, look no further than your produce section. Displaying oranges is said to bring wealth and luck in Chinese culture.
  • Grapefruit. It’s almost summertime, which can only mean one thing: fruity cocktails! If super sweet concoctions aren’t your thing, opt for a grapefruit drink, instead. This citrus is tart and flavorful.
  • Limes. The lime is lemon’s less famous little brother, but he has some serious cleaning and cooking credentials of his own. In the kitchen, use lime juice to remove dark stains from the inside of a coffee pot.

    influenced by them and I missed you comment about the messes not being so bad when it means you've lots of love and it reminded of a favorite poem of my Mom's... And though I like a tidy house, I have to agree with what it says as long as the house isn't dirty to the point of being unhealthy. Messy... okay. Dirty... not so much.
